Wine reviews

October 2019

The 2017 Nomad Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Bourn Vineyard is deep garnet-purple in color with a nose of plum preserves, black currant cordial and fried herbs with hints of iron ore, tobacco and new leather plus a hint of charcoal. The palate is full-bodied, firm and chewy with muscular fruit and an earthy finish.

The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon NOMAD Beckstoffer Bourn has a more classic, mineral-laced style. Notes of blackcurrants, chocolate, crushed rocks, and a touch of leafy herbs all flow to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully pure, textured, elegant Cabernet that shines for its balance and classical style. The tannins here are beautifully polished, and it has plenty of upfront appeal, yet it will still evolve for 15-20 years or more.
